The FBI has made no inquries with regard to the Vice President Agnew investigation by the Department and IRS, and has received no requests for any such investigation. We have not been furnished any such information resulting from this investigation and have not become privy to any such material. The only action by the FBI was to afford polygraph examinations to Messrs. Jerome Benjamin Wolff and Lester Matz in Baltimore, Maryland, on August 11 and 12, 1973, by Special Agent (SA) J. Robert Pearce of the Philadelphia FBI office at the request of U. S. Attorney (USA) George Beall, Baltimore; the Attcrney General, and Assistant Attorney General Henry E. Petersen. Preparatory to conducting the polygraph examinations on August 11, 1973, USA Beall and Assistant U. S. Attorney (AUSA) Ronald S. Liebman furnished certain details concerning this investigation to SA Pearce to enable him to conduct meaningful polygraph examinations. The results of the polygraph examinations were received at FBIHQ in two separate communications: a summary teletype dated August 12, 1973, and a comprehensive memorandum dated August 13, 1973, both prepared by SA Pearce. In responding to your request of August 27, 1973, we are limiting our comments to personnel who had responsibilitics in connection with the polygraph examinations, and the preparation of and approval of communications setting forth the results of these. examinations. In addition, we are identifying those Burveau. employees who may have become privy to information developed yo. polygraph examinations. yee q" ra Be ea ex, % ne wp war/tei| EG (6) MAIL noom [1 TELETYPE UNIT (_] pigiee up ¥ | cefeg Lai "thos Leto a 53AuUG 80 1973)" Zod fd on Pind Oy poy: SEI HY po
